Do you want the grey to pop out or so you want it to stelth out?

After all, you don't want to colour match it to some plumbers soil pipe do you

How about one of them shiney chrome effect paints? Or a nickel effect? Like the colour of brushed aliuminium handles in the kitchen?

I have tried not to post in this thread because no matter what colour the car goes I am always going to be jealous
If that Audi grey is the same as my sisters TT cab its more like battleship in the flesh lol.As for an orangey/bronze I have a 207GT which is salamanca orange but tbh its a bit gingery (not as there's anything wrong with ginger ay Beef).
If its was mine I would go for plain old hard as nails gloss black with old school white/anthracite rev rfx's.But that just my opinion.Good luck with the suggestions.

The BMW Lachs Silver defo gets my vote as I had that on my E30 M3 and showed off the body lines very well. Also like the midnight blue that I have seen on a few 5 series too and the candy red on the Camaro below.

Scanning all the way through this thread I was thinking "I'd do it DataPost" Each time I see Paul's Caltex Sierra I start getting misty eyed over Texaco decals for mine

I'd be tempted to go for a solid colour. Something like signal yellow or blue. Keep it simple i reckon. Should look good.
